Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) held the fourth lecture of the 12th session of Health Policy Academy (HPA).

At the fourth lecture, Soichiro Mitani, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law Department of Law, Faculty of Law, Konan university, provided a lecture entitled “Health Policy History.”

The lecture focused on how policy knowledge, such as reform proposals within the history of health policy, has been inherited and passed down over time.

In the Q&A session, students from diverse backgrounds actively asked questions, and it was a lively exchange of opinions that transcended industry and regional barriers.

The HPA has been renewed, and the 12th session will be called “HPA Advance.” This curriculum will cover the theory, themes, and analysis of health policies and will be conducted over the next six months. Its objective is to offer participants opportunities to learn about essential concepts required for the actual policy-making process. This includes fostering coordination and agreement among various ideas through discussions and the development of recommendations with students from diverse backgrounds.
